My life quality increased immensely when I realized most of Reddit is bots and the parts written by real humans are usually written by the type of person that you really shouldn’t take any advice from
replyWhat kind of reddit do you browse? The /r/funny one or the /r/composting one?
replyNot even a big "browser". This realization hit me after missing some uni events after reading negative comments on town subreddit, then discovering that I actually know one of the commenters in real life and he is just a plain idiot and it was an obvious mistake to not go. When there is no objective criteria, relying on personal judgement or plain chance is just a better way to go instead of overthinking based on stranger advice.
replyMeeting a few redditors in real life shows you who you're interacting with. It's a very mixed bag.
reply> Also, why is he talking about “friends” and “strangers”? We all know he means “women".
replyDoes he? It seems like he socialised mainly with men in the documented interactions. Perhaps he really was just lonely in the general sense.
You can find contrary advice for any given topic, all upvoted highly, if you look for it.
